So I'm really into starting up my youtube channel, and what better way for helping me promote, is pixel art!! I've been dying for days to get a start on making pixel-art but I wasn't sure on where and how. SO after some good research I couldn't find the right kinda "tag" to help promote my YT channel in a cute way so I made some. This is my first ever pixel design, so I'm looking for some pointers. This is also my first first gif/animation with said art style. Great CC is appreciated! http://xhifta.deviantart.com/art/Youtube-pastel-pixel-tag-604687064 http://xhifta.deviantart.com/art/Youtube-pastel-pixel-604691746 http://xhifta.deviantart.com/art/Youtube-pastel-pixel-604691746 Sorry for the links, they are gifs and I couldn't figure out how to use the BBcode or the HTMLs to show them properly.
You can just use the [IMG] tags for GIFs. Spoiler Unfortunately I don't have too much in the CnC department since I'm not very artistically minded. :P I think the first one is the most readable for "tube," although making the pink box a bit darker could help that further. "You" is where the most readability trouble will come since it is backgrounded with transparency. Normally I would recommend putting a border or dropshadow there, but I would imagine that would just look odd in pixel-art (I could be wrong though). Maybe have a couple of versions depending on where you're using it?
I agree, when I made them, I wasn't thinking too much about the colors? Because on a white background- the "you" is totally blended with another white background (they look great here tho), which is a bummer. I could try adding a drop shadow- but then again it might or might not look weird. I won't know until I try! But that's why I made a few- I was trying to stick to a pastel- theme but it's still too bright on certain websites.
